Grief and rage at the wedding: Demeter, Persephone and the mother of the bride
Article Abstract:
Traditional psychotherapy uses patriarchal definitions of the mother-daughter relationship as a competition which fails to consider the psychological impact of the daughter's marriage when the two have been very close. The myth of Demeter and Persephone provides feminist psychotherapists with an alternative relationship that accepts the mother's grief and abandonment feelings so that she can be treated rather than considered selfish. Myth can often provide paradigms for feminists outside of patriarchical culture and therefore provide alternative treatment philosophies.
